Blake Grupe A Good Option For Week 4

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe hit field goals from 34 and 38 yards out in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Taysom Hill Looks Good To Go Against Falcons

New Orleans Saints utilityman Taysom Hill (chest) is ready to get back to action in Week 4.

Rashid Shaheed Has Discouraging Matchup In Week 4

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed was a main contributor to the team's 91-point explosion over the first two weeks of 2024. Week 3 was an absolute dud, though, as he came up empty on his five targets against the Eagles. In Week 4, the Saints head to Atlanta to take on the Falcons […]

Jamaal Williams Might See More Work In Week 4

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams could be in line for improved production in Week 4. Over the first three weeks of the season, he has not had much to offer from a fantasy standpoint with the Saints dedicated to force-feeding Alvin Kamara (hip/ribs). Kamara popped up on the injury report this week, though, […]

Derek Carr Lacks Appeal In Week 4

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (groin) popped up on the team's injury report for Week 4, though he was a full participant in practices this week and carries no injury designation going into his next game. After scoring six total touchdowns (five passing, one rushing) in the Saints' back-to-back blowouts to start the season, […]

Saints D/ST Records Blocked Kick Against Eagles

The New Orleans Saints defense/special teams put up a solid effort from a fantasy perspective in Week 3.

The squad had four sacks in the game, seven tackles for […]

Rashid Shaheed Posts Goose Egg In Week 3

Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed had five targets in the New Orleans Saints' 15-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr managed just 142 passing yards in their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Avoid New Orleans D/ST In Week 3 Shootout

The New Orleans Saints' D/ST picked up where they left off last season. In 2023, the team was among the league leaders in takeaways with 29 and so far in 2024, the team is tied for second with five (four interceptions and one fumble recovered). Likewise, the defense has given up just two touchdowns so […]

Blake Grupe A Solid Option For Week 3

New Orleans kicker Blake Grupe has a lot working in his favor in his first NFL season. The undrafted rookie has the benefit of playing in a dome, for starters. And with Klint Kubiak now running the offense, the team is suddenly a powerhouse in the making meaning Grupe is flush with opportunities to put […]

Juwan Johnson Can Stay On The Bench In Week 3

The New Orleans Saints tight end group is missing out on all the fun. New offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has turned the team's offense into a hyper-efficient machine, though scoring at will seems to be reducing opportunities for the bit players. As such, fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from Juwan Johnson on Sunday, despite Taysom […]

Rashid Shaheed A Solid Flex Option In Week 3

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is off to the start that everyone was expecting for teammate Chris Olave. Through the first two games of the season, Shaheed has seven catches for 169 yards and two touchdowns and is leading the league in both yards per route run and fantasy points per route run. […]

Chris Olave Set For 2024 Breakout

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is still waiting for his first big game of the year. He opened the season with a dud and then followed it with a modest four-catch, 81-yard effort in Week 2 that would have looked much better had he not been stopped just short of the end zone. […]

Jamaal Williams Can Sit Despite Team Success

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams was tasked with mop-up duty in the team's blowout victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2. In his limited action, he picked up 39 yards on eight carries. Stuck behind Alvin Kamara on the depth chart, Williams has yet to truly cash in the way his teammates […]

Alvin Kamara A Top-12 RB In Week 3

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara went off in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, scoring four touchdowns and gaining 180 scrimmage yards. New offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has breathed new life into the Saints' stale offense, transforming them into one of the most efficient attacks in the NFL. Two weeks is a small […]

Derek Carr In The QB1 Mix In Week 3

In Week 2, New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr needed only 11 completions to rack up 243 passing yards and two touchdowns against the Dallas Cowboys.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Elijah Higgins caught an 18-yard touchdown pass in their 41-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Trey McBride Falls On Fumble For Touchdown

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride was in the right place at just the right time when running back James Conner fumbled at the Rams' five-yard line in the fourth quarter of the two teams' Week 2 showdown.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Finds End Zone Twice In Week 2

The panic surrounding Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.'s debut was stifled by a monster performance in the second week of his NFL career.

Leave Arizona D/ST On The Wire In Week 2

The Arizona Cardinals recorded two sacks and recovered a fumble in Week 1, but it was DeeJay Dallas' 96-yard kick return touchdown that pushed them to a surprising top-10 finish in fantasy points scored despite giving up 34 points to the Buffalo Bills. In Week 2, the Cardinals play their home opener against the division-rival […]

Matt Prater Has Top-12 Potential In Week 2

Week 1 of the 2024 season saw several kickers put up extraordinary amounts of points.

Unfortunately, Matt Prater was not one of them. […]

Michael Wilson Hard To Trust In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson scored the team's first points of the 2024 season last week against the Bills. Unfortunately, the second-year receiver's five-yard touchdown catch was his only reception of the game and he finished with just one other target. Fellow wide receiver Greg Dortch and tight end Trey McBride were Kyler Murray's […]

Trey Benson Unlikely To Break Out In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson had as quiet of a debut as they come in the team's season opener last week against the Bills. The third-round pick out of Florida State saw just three rushing attempts to James Conner's 16. Benson gained 13 yards on the ground and caught one pass for another five […]

Trey McBride A Top Option In Week 2

Tight ends league-wide disappointed in Week 1. As it was, Trey McBride's eight points in half-PPR leagues were still good for a top-10 finish at the position. While his production (five catches for 30 yards) fell short of expectations, fantasy managers found a silver lining in McBride's utilization. The Cardinals deployed their star tight end […]

Greg Dortch A Deep Flex Candidate

Buzz around Arizona Cardinals slot receiver Greg Dortch has been building for weeks. Dortch demonstrated great route running and chemistry with Kyler Murray during preseason training camps and in Week 1 had a 26% target share even though he was on the field for just 62% of offensive snaps. In Week 2, the Cardinals host […]

Marvin Harrison Jr. Hopes To Improve At Home

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. had a dud of a debut against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. The fourth overall pick of the NFL draft had just one catch for four yards and wasn't targeted at all in the second half of that game. While the performance was alarming for fantasy managers […]
